Namit has a strong family tradition of yoga and has studied yoga all over the world including in his native India. He has also travelled throughout North and South America and Europe learning from recognised teachers and constantly developing his teaching style.

His background as a leading health professional allows him to apply and explain the health benefits of yoga at every level. As a result his yoga retreats and courses are some of the most respected, traditional and original in the world.

Namit's teaching style is designed to help each student gain what he or she individually wants to achieve from their yoga.

He has studied both yoga and health to a very high level and uses his knowledge as the foundation of his highly respected system of teaching, which his students benefit from at his retreat centre in Spain: Yoga Sutra Shala.

Namit has written several articles about yoga and health for ezine online magazine; a short story called “Yoga Sutra – A Seeker’s Story” (published on Amazon); and is currently writing a book, called “Yoga – The Journey Within”.

Some of his guided meditations are published and available free of charge on the app named Insight Timer, by searching for 'Yoga Sutra Shala Retreat Centre' and can also be found on YouTube.

He began studying yoga and meditation as a child from his maternal uncles and pranayama (techniques for breath control) from his father.  Having a maternal family from the Himalayas, he has always been deeply inspired to receive greater teachings about yoga.

He was educated in the philosophy of yoga by his mother and his maternal grandmother, who later introduced him to a Nepalese yogi staying in India. This yogi passed on to him the foundations of the yoga system, which Namit has developed himself and which he now teaches to his students.

As well as having a strong family background in yoga, Namit has yoga teaching qualifications from Rishikesh in India (the birthplace of yoga) and also from Dharamsala in the Himalayas in India (the current residence of His Royal Holiness the Dalai Lama).

He has spent time teaching advanced yoga in Dharamsala and has deepened his own practice in various shalas in Mysore (India), where he learnt different systems of yoga such as vinyasa and hatha yoga.

During his twenties, Namit studied martial arts in China and had his first insights into traditional yin yoga. While at university in the UK, he studied and practised martial arts, which added to the depth of knowledge in anatomy and physiology that he was gaining from his university degrees and allowed him to further develop his practise of yoga (in terms of anatomy), later in his life.

While he was in China, Namit heard about an American Chiropractor (who had previously lived in China and Taiwan) and who applied principles of anatomy to his practice. Inspired by this, Namit travelled to the US in order to learn from him and to understand his principles of alignment and structure, as related to the human body.

These experiences led Namit to study anatomy further with a chiropractor in India and later to study there with a physiotherapist, both of whom had backgrounds in yoga and led courses in Yoga Anatomy for health professionals.

Completing these courses gave Namit insights in to yoga-related injuries and how to avoid them, as well as using yoga anatomy to guide students to go deeper into their postures and in doing so, help them to release deep underlying tensions in their bodies and hence in their minds.

As he progressed in his yoga practice, Namit also travelled in Europe and returned to the Americas, learning different teaching styles of yoga and adding techniques from these to his own teaching style. He taught yoga regularly in the UK before moving to Spain.

Namit studied life sciences, including Pharmacy, at King's College London and Clinical Pharmacy at Queen's University Belfast, where he graduated to Masters Degree level.

As a health professional, Namit has worked in roles advising on the use of medication in various specialities such as Neurology and Cardiology at some of the largest hospital teaching trusts in the UK, including the Oxford University Trust (ORH). He also worked as the first Pharmacist Advisor to the national NHS Direct service.

As such Namit has a very deep knowledge of the body and how it functions optimally. He has also studied the health benefits of yoga as part of his teacher trainings and other studies in India.
 As a result he has made his classes very health-orientated.

After studying health sciences, Namit studied ethical business management, including social responsibility and fair trade at Masters Degree level at De Montfort University Leicester, aiding him in establishing Yoga Sutra Shala in Spain, where he lives his dream of raising awareness, by sharing his knowledge with those who want to learn about health and happiness and fully engage with life.

As well as yoga, Namit has taught Tai Chi, Qi Gong and Kung Fu and has learnt from masters across the world, including both Northern and Southern China.

Namit is recognised as an Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher (E-RYT 500) with Yoga Alliance, which acknowledges the completion of a yoga teacher training with a Registered Yoga School (RYS), and an accumulation of a minimum of 500 hours of teaching.

He is also a registered Senior Yoga Teacher (SYT) with Yoga Alliance Professionals. This accreditation demonstrates excellent standards as set by them and recognises that he has been teaching for more than 8 years (over 4000 hours).

He has been a Member of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain for over 25 years and as a Clinical Pharmacist he follows Continuing Professional Development (CPD) on an annual basis.
